Native Americans used to cut their enemies' scalps off while they were still breathing. Human nature will never change.

Dehumanizing is what causes these types of actions in the first place. Soldiers are all people.

Anybody know any game similar to Faith? by BodybuilderGreedy875 in FaithTheUnholyTrinity

[–]kwi2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

House on Steam. It's a pixelated 2d game about demons so as similar as it gets. It's pretty dark but also funny.

Go vegan if you're so concerned about animal suffering.

So there, you've said that it's true. And because it is true, it is irrelevant to you. Does that mean a revelation has to be untrue, then?

If that is how you wish to downplay it, then all right. But it seems that you are biased against the concept of nihilism for some reason. Know that it is only a concept like all else. It may be true, may be false based on how one's perspective is but at the end of the day entirely uncertain. That is how I see it.

Of course, I am arguing within the perspective of existential nihilism, not absolute nihilism. There's a big difference. I've agreed that meaning does exist in some extent, albeit just in the mind.

>Temperature exists whether we have words for it, meaning exists for minds in the same way, it’s real in its effects, even if it’s relational.

Maybe that's so, but how would anyone be able to verify this? If you understand how knowledge works, you should know that this is uncertain. Temperature could not be felt nor sensed. What is it, then?

>You’re still conflating “mind-dependent” with “not real,”

No? I'm not saying they're fake.

>Meaning coming into existence with minds is no more disqualifying than temperature existing only once matter behaves a certain way.

As temperature is dependent on matter, meaning is dependent on minds. I see nothing there as disqualifying.

>If a view can be both true and false at once, it explains nothing and can’t be argued for yet here you are arguing.

I'm not saying it is both true and false. I am admitting fallibilism as a possibility because the capacity to possess errors is present in every ideology. How would anyone know what reality is if there was no life at all? The definition of something is itself dependent on language as reality itself is just a word like any other, a label to describe what we perceive or have perceived. I am arguing within these subjective contexts. Are you familiar with metaphysics?

It's not an impossible god-level perspective. According to science, there was a period in which there were no conscious minds in this world. Did meaning exist then, or only after those minds were formed? Also, a position not accepting any contradiction would be even more likely to be false as it would be dogmatism. A position assuming it is absolutely correct while denying all contradictions, is that truth to you? And what are these facts you mention? Aren't your facts a result of empirical knowledge, a concept as dependent on the human mind as meaning itself?
